I hope you realize your logic sounds all too similar to the arguments made against black men and women during the civil rights era being 'disruptive'.

And yes, I want citations. I want you to cite these disruptive events. I want you to actually prove your point.

How many events held to hear someone speak were disrupted last year? You're either pedantic or so uniformed you shouldn't be part of the conversation.

And your specious and slanderous statement that my arguments are similar to those made against the civil rights movement can go to hell. There's a world of difference between walking into a restaurant and waiting to be served versus walking into a speech and coordinating to shout and heckle the speaker so that they can't be heard. And if you can't grasp the difference, what could possibly be the point of discussing this further with you?
